Lisbon Show to celebrate the Irish Presidency of the European Union
In 2013 I was honoured to be invited by the Irish Embassy and the Irish Association to exhibit my work as a celebration of the Irish Presidency of the European Union. The exhibition was staged in the fabulous Palacio Independente in the centre of Lisbon. The opening night was a diplomatic event and many international guests of the embassy, ambassadors and cultural attaches were present.
